First Nations vow to stop work on Site-C dam – Am730

May 13, 2015

At an anti Site-C dam event in downtown Vancouver Wednesday evening, The Chief of the West Moberly First Nation in the Peace Valley vowed to stop any work from proceeding, until the court challenges against the hydroelectric dam are heard.

Chief Roland Wilson says it will file an injunction for a stop-work order if clearing of the south bank begins.

This week BC Hydro announced it awarded the contract to Paul Paquette and Son’s Contracting of Chetwynd.

“One of the things that they are trying to do is to get the First nations fighting amongst each other, they have awarded the contract to a First nations contractor, we don’t want to be in a position like that, we understand people need to work, what we are saying is that there are better jobs out there.”
